Emilio Rodríguez Larraín was a Peruvian postwar and contemporary painter and sculptor who was born in 1928. He was trained at the Lima School of Engineers (currently the National University of Engineering) from 1945 to 1949. This is how he entered art and was able to learn tools and techniques that would help him in his future works. In the 1950s he ventured into painting under the influence of the French architect and abstract art painter Jean Dewasne, thus developing a painting style based on the abstract and the geometric until his trip to Europe where he migrated to the style of modernist informalism. and made paintings that alluded to the cultures of ancient Peru.

A photograph of Emilio, distributed by the gallery, showed a great resemblance to Zero Mostel. He doesn't look like Mostel at all. The picture was taken in Paris last May, when he had the mumps. He was born in Lima in 1928, the son of an industrialist. His father's family came to Peru in the 17th century. Mr. Staempfli met Emilio in Llansa, Spain, last summer.
